The Marion County Board of Elections approved precinct relocations for several residents and validated all but two candidacy requests at its meeting Wednesday night.

Scott Iles, who filed to run for the Caledonia village council this year, reported an incorrect number of signatures on his candidacy form. Melissa Shawver, who filed to run for the LaRue village council, filled out her candidacy form after already receiving some signatures. Those signatures were invalid, and she did not end up having enough. The board rejected both petitions after reviewing candidacy rules.
